In the present study, we analyse the cormophyte vegetation from the perspective of ecological monitoring actions, in a basin of a micro-hydropower plant situated where the Bistrita River discharges into the Siret River, a basin which is part of an avifaunistic protected area. There have been identified plant associations which are comprised in the following habitats: 3150-natural eutrophic lakes with Magnopotamion or Hydrocharition vegetation; 3270 – Rivers with muddy banks with Chenopodionrubri p.p. and Bidention p.p. vegetation; 92A0 –Salix alba and Populus alba galleries. The factors responsible for disturbing the ecological balance of this sector of the Bistrita River are: floods, vegetation successions, grazing, frequent use of footpaths, tourism, vandalism, fishing, plastic objects thrown into water and carried along, trash, etc.
